My friend has been dealing with hemorrhoids for the past 8 months and the doctor recommended surgery to remove them but he's really scared of going under the knife Is there any other way to treat hemorrhoids without surgery
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
External hemorrhoids can be treated non-surgically with a variety of methods, including topical creams, sitz baths, ice packs, and lifestyle changes like increasing fiber and hydration. Over-the-counter medications containing hydrocortisone or witch hazel can help relieve pain and itching, while warm sitz baths can soothe the area. Applying ice packs can reduce swelling, and a high-fiber diet can help prevent straining during bowel movements

View allCan a Bartholin cyst or abscess develop into an anal fistula? Also, are there any non-surgical treatments for fistula in ano, and what side effects come with surgery for it?
While Bartholin's cysts and abscesses can cause complications like fistulas, they do not directly develop into anal fistulas. Bartholin's cysts and abscesses affect the vulva, while anal fistulas occur in the area around the anus.

I'm dealing with a lump near my anus that's been there for two days now. It's starting to get a bit smaller, but I'm still not feeling back to normal. It's pretty uncomfortable, and I'm not sure what's causing it. What could be going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing an anal lump, which could be due to various causes like hemorrhoids, an abscess, or even a small infection. Since it's improving but not fully gone, its important to keep the area clean and consider seeing a healthcare provider if it persists or worsens, to rule out any underlying conditions.
